Chimaeracon fundraiser Tuesday, Jan. 26

You can’t beat an evening of hot pizza and even hotter tabletop gaming action — especially when it helps fund a bigger celebration of gaming, science fiction and fantasy in the near future.

Chimaeracon, the San Antonio-based gaming/sf/fantasy convention, will hold a fundraiser Tuesday, Jan. 26, from 6 to 10 p.m. at Pizza Italia. You can bring your own game or hook-up with one of the Chimaeracon game masters. It’s all good. And it’s all for a suggested donation of $3 per player to help make Chimaeracon 2010 (April 9-11) a rip-roaring success.

I’ve been to a few Chimaeracons and they’re a real treat for role-playing fans, board game lovers, video game buffs and sf/fantasy enthusiasts. The con offers all sorts of imaginative action like Dungeons & Dragons, Settlers of Catan, Circus Maximus, miniatures, cosplay, etc., plus special guests. And with a new venue this year, Chimaeracon should really ratchet up the fun.
